Default Dents in seats

Can anyone give me some hints on how to remove dents in my GS leather. I had a car seat in it for a few weeks without a seat protector and I want to try and get the dents out before I reinstall the car seat (with a protector this time). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Give it some time...the leather does have memory and even when flexed for a long peiord of time, it may go back to where it was prior to the car seat. Keep the car out in the sun as well. The heat will soften the leather and may reshape it as well.

Agree and try some leather restorer after a few days without the seat on the leather.
Thx to admins too...

A few weeks back my windows in my 2008 IS 350 were left down about halfway for a 24 hour period where rain occurred nonstop. The exposed parts of all my seats felt real soft for a while but now seem to be pretty stiff again. There are wrinkles in them now though.. I've been wondering what I could do, if anything to get them back to 100%. I have leatherique prestine clean and rejuvenator so I will be using that soon. I'd like at least the driver's seat to be as close to 100% as possible because of the way it grips you when you drive. My car was at around 13k miles I think when this all went down - I bought it new in January of this year

Can you post some pictures.

Warming up the leather, cleaning and conditioning it should help a lot. But without actually seeing the leather, I couldn't give you a 100% solution.
